Among the greatest blessings in my life (along with pre-cooked sausages and Amazon Prime), I count knitting and crocheting at the very top. The joy, fulfillment and unwinding (pun intended) they have brought into my life are beyond measure. Though my crafting journey has been marked with many tears (I still get PTSD when I drop a stitch), I am eternally grateful to my patient coworkers for starting me on this lifelong adventure.

My very first crochet project was a cowl in our super soft Billow cotton yarn. Despite the shockingly uneven stitches, I don’t think there was a prouder gal that cold winter day of 2012.

Welcome to this week’s FREE Twelve Weeks of Gifting pattern: Fun with Fair Isle Lavender Sachets! Whether you like to brighten the scent of your knits with lavender, or need a small project in which to try fair isle knitting for the very first time, these sachets are the perfect portable project.
